This is only something to worry about when I give access to a machine
and the maintainer takes not days but weeks to ssh into it and try to
debug the problem.

I trust that this will not happen here. I've prepared a machine for you.
Details in private email.

If you don't know what's wrong and a failure in the tests does not
indicate that the package is misbuilt, then disabling the test is the
only reasonable thing to do. Making the build fail just for fun does
not make any sense. However, please take the time to investigate the
problem properly, as that's the purpose of offering a test machine.

Thanks.
